Oh, your Venice pictures are the object of my desire (to be able to DO them, not to HAVE them)! Great work here, IMO. Next year I'll have 2-3 months in Italy, and hope to do something even approaching this good!

Yes I love your Venice paintings - it certainly is summer there. It's nearly the end of winter here and because it's bout 25 and windy, South Australia (but not here) has a fire ban! In winter!Thir morning I felt better so went to town to pay a bill, but now I've got that cough back!

This is a place where I regularly post personal artwork, good, bad or indifferent.

The characters that crop up regularly in this blog are husband – Robin, eldest teenager and only daughter – Flo, next teenager and eldest son – Tom, teenager second son – Hugo, five year old third son – Xavier, and red Staffordshire Bull Terrier – Rufus.

I'll try to reply wherever you comment but if I don't it's only because I'm overwhelmed with running a family and earning a living.

My two eldest have started a business venture selling artwork (mainly my paintings) to raise money for university. Please visit their site, Oakley Gallery to see what they are selling now.

If you want to buy prints of anything you see here or have any requests please send an email to flo at oakleygallery dot com
